Most likely it is because of hard stools
Minimise milk based diet, introduce fibre rich food, plenty of water
If these measures dont help, syrup lactulose can be given with consultation

It's functional constipation, give first thing in the morning solids and after take her to potty and sit for 5 minutes this will evacuate daily stool without becoming hard, meanwhile for blood it may be fissure hence consultation needed.
